If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Denison. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
