Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bernie could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
