Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Bend could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
