We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Bardstown in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
