Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Missoula could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
