If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your vacation in Koshkonong.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks may also help.
