If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Dewey. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
