No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Polch vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
