If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Schuylkill Haven.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don’t forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
