We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Burlington in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.
