Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Montrose could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies 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 be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
