If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your time in Clearwater Beach.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and take a pullover in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
