Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bunkie could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
