Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Boe could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
