We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Homer in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
