No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy hints that will get your Edgerton escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.
