No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Augusta holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
