Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Fort Davis could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
