Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Natchez holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
