Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to North Webster could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.
