We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Walker before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
