How to survive the flight to Princeton?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Princeton could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
