Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Boonsboro could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.
