We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Evansville before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
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 liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
