Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Lady Lake could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
