Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Grand Junction could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We’ve compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
