If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your time in Clay Centre.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
