No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Englehart vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
