Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Orick could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
