We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Frostburg in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for 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:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
