Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We’ve made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Toledo vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.
