We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Cleveland in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
