Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Sunset Beach vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
