No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Fort Wayne vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
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 or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
