No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Lakota escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
