Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Ironton escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and bring a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
