No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Collinsville vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
