Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Banner could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
