If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Anaheim. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
