Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Evadale could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
