Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Modoc vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
