If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Thirsk.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
