Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Edgerton escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
