If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Brookfield.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be the goal when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
