If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Jackson. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items 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 air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
