Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Powellville could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.
