Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Joplin could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
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 one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
