Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Hamden could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don’t have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.
