We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Piqua in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel 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 by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
