We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Medora before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
