No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We’ve put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Manton vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don’t have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and don’t forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.
