Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Big Horn vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
