Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Hahira vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
