No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We’ve made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Gillham vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.
