Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Grayling could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
