Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gilbert could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
