No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Stirling escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
