Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Somerset Village holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.
