Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Wells escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
