Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Baton Rouge could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you bring the right gear. First of all you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
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 suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
