Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Willow River could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
