Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Funk could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.
