We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Verquin in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
