We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Saginaw before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
