Do you have any tips for my flight to Ellsworth AFB?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ellsworth AFB could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
