Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Trail could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
