Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Atlanta could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner 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. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
