Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Humboldt could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
