Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gallup could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
