Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Hartsville could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
