No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Courtion vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane 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 conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
