If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your holiday in Waco.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple --- first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
