We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Omaha in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
