Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Kamsack vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
