If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Custer. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
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 pick flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
