Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Okolona could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
