Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to McDermitt could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
