Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Fortress Lake could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
