Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Fowler could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
