No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips that will get your Tor escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray 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. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
