Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Ceton escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), 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 socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
