Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Elkton vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make 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:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
