If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Marshall. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
