Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Nordegg vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don’t forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put 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 security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and take a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.
