Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Unalaska could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
