No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Tie Siding vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.
