Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Marion could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
