No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Antimony vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long 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 walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
