Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Mountain Lake could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some 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:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be the goal when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
