Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Wood Lake vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, 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 in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
