Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Williamsburg could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
