Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Iron Mountain could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
