Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Ellisville vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
