We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Creighton in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
