If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Suddendorf.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be the goal when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
