Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Stonington could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be the goal when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
