Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Torbay escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
