Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Coldridge escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
