Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Hatton vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you’ll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can’t come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels 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 for it.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
