No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Morehead vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
