Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Dewey Beach holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.
