Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kitzmiller could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
