Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Ogallala escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
