Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Trenton escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
