Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to La Harpe could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.
