Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Orrville vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.
