Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Laporte vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
