Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Salhouse escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.
