If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Marietta.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.
