Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Mount Gilead could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze 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 security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
