No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Cline River escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
