If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Geismar. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
