We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Port Armstrong in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
