No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve prepared well. We’ve made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Justice vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
