We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Biwabik in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
