Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Marshall holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, 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 for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
