No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Enders escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
