If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Superior.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and bring a cardigan in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
