We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring East Machias in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
