No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Bottineau holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
