Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Trezevant escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a sweater in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
