If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Upland. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
