No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Mountain Home escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
