Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Muleshoe could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
