If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your vacation in Mendon. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
