Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Wamego could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We’ve pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don’t forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
