No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Cass Lake vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
