Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Gloria could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
