Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Vassar vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.
