If you're not prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Eagle Pass. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
