We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Portage in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
