Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Hidden Valley could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
