We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Elk Mountain in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
