Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gideon could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
