We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Pratt before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
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 liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
