Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Clare holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.
