Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your North Ferriby escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.
