Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Kingsteignton escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.
