Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Slaterville Springs escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put 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) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and bring a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
