If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your time in Stoutland.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
