Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Fall Creek vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
