We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Chisholm in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
