If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your holiday in Allentown. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
