If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Bayview.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple --- first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
