Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Fayetteville could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
