We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Ewing in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
