Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Moyie escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
