We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Sergeant Bluff in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
