If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Pawnee Rock.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
