Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ackerman could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be the goal when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
