If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a pain-free start to your time in Townsend.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.
