If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Plantersville.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
