We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Williamsburg in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
