Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Claryville escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
