Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lakevale could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
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 bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
