No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Watford City holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
