Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Walloon Lake could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
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 liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
