Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Rossport vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids 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 flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. 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.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
