Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Lake Tomahawk vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater 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 on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
