Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Shawnee holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
