Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Flagler escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
