If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Ketchum.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols 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 key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
