Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Palmdale holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.
