Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Edinboro could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
