Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your South Burlington holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
