We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Konawa in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
