Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Hartford could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We’ve put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don’t have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and don’t forget to pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
