Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Knoxville escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
