Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Vinton vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
