Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Grand Forks could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
- Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
