Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lone Oak could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
