No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Radisson escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
