We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Brumath in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
