Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Owendale could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be the goal when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
