Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Kill Devil Hills holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
