Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Elkton could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
