Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Linn vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
