Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Eagle River vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- The result of prolonged 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 drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
