Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Youngstown vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
