Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Morton could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.
