Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Recess escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
