If you’re not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your time in Quitman.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
