Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Tahoe City could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
