Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Chukto could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
