Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Paulding could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
