Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Mount Aukum could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
