Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Morris escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
