Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Bath could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
