Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Maryland Heights escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your main priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
