Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Wrexham escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
