If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Leeds. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
