Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Elkins escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
