If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your getaway in Honaker.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
