No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Hythe vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
