If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Pueblo.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze 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 authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.
