Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Byfield vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change 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 liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
