Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Spring Lake escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
