No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Huntington Beach escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
