Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Crossett escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot 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.
