Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ryland could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
