Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Ozar vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, 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:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
