Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Platte could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
