If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your vacation in Roosevelt.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a 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 looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.
