No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Centreville holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
