We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Hot Springs in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
