No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’re prepared. We’ve put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Windermere holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring items that’ll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don’t forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your highest priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
