If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Salt Harbour.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be the goal when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
