If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Perry. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
