Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to East Augusta could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
