Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Elk Point could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
