If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in St. Michael. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
