If you're not prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Wasilla.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.
