Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Great Falls escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
