Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your North Canton escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
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 in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
