Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Winchester escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
