Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Foxton holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
