Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Wilton vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
