Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mineville could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
