Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Meadville could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
