Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Davis escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
