Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Boones Creek could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
