Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Elliott could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and bring a pullover in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
