Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy hints that will get your Dalton City escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
