Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Assumption could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
