We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Wahpeton before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
