Do you have any tips for my flight to Independence?

  • What you pack in your hand luggage can mean the difference between a comfortable flight, and a restless one. Start with the essentials, such as your passport (or a valid ID) and your travel documents. Once they’re packed, toss in any medications you might need. Next? It’s all about comfort factor. A quality neck pillow, earplugs and the latest bestseller will help the time fly by while you’re in the air.
  • Remember that there’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which can differ between airlines and routes. Generally, avoid packing anything flammable, sharp or explosive.

  • Reduce your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition which can be caused by sitting for long periods of time, by regularly moving around the cabin.
