Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Port Orford could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.
