If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pain-free start to your time in Waubun.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
