If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your time in Fort Collins. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
