Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Paragould escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
