Airport Baggage Tips: Wear your heaviest clothing on the plane, including a jacket or sweatshirt (if you’re bringing one), so it doesn’t take up space and weight in your bag. Plus, you’ll stay warmer during those chilly flights! #Super8RichlandJackson #RichlandMS #Travel

Travel Tip: Book the first flight of the day. Yes, you’ll have to get up early, but there is less of a likelihood that you’ll face delays since the plane is already at the airport! #Super8RichlandJackson #RichlandMS #Travel

Packing tips!
1. Roll, don't fold.
Many travel experts—including backpackers, who must stuff months' worth of clothing into a pack the size of a box of wine—agree that rolling is superior to folding. Tightly rolled clothes take up less space than folded ones. Plus, they're less prone to getting deep wrinkles from fold creases.
2. Make a packing list
When it comes to packing, procrastinators fall short. Start your packing process days or even weeks ahead of your departure date; this gives you time to craft a complete list, plus purchase any additional items you might need for your vacation. Creating a packing list is a fail-safe way to ensure that you never, ever forget to bring something important.
3. Know your airline's baggage-fee policy
Figuring out the airlines' tricky and befuddling baggage-fee policies is key to any budget-minded packing strategy. While most airlines permit travelers to check at least one bag on international flights, the majority of U.S. carriers charge big bucks for bags checked on domestic flights. Spirit Airlines—that notoriously customer-unfriendly discounter—even charges as much as $100 for carry-on bags.
Before you begin packing, take a peek at your airline's website and read its baggage policy. This is something you might even want to do prior to buying your plane ticket, especially if you're set on bringing a checked bag or two. Consider flying on Southwest or JetBlue, both of which permit at least one free checked bag on domestic flights.
4. Follow the 3-1-1 rule
What happens if you don't follow the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) 3-1-1 rule for carry-on luggage? Attempt to bring a large bottle of shampoo or a full-size gel deodorant through the security line and the TSA will likely confiscate your stuff, holding you up in line in the process. So get familiar with the agency's rules: All liquids brought onto planes must be in 3.4-ounce bottles or smaller and inside a single, clear, quart-size zip-top bag.
It also helps to know which items are, according to the TSA, considered liquids or gels and thereby subject to the 3-1-1 rule. This isn't as simple as it sounds. Foods such as peanut butter, pudding, mashed potatoes, and icing are classified as gels. Mascara, lip gloss, and aerosol items are also classified as liquids or gels. But keep in mind that liquid prescription medication is exempt. (Read more on that on The TSA Blog.) See a more complete list of liquids and gels that are not permitted in carry-on luggage in quantities greater than 3.4 ounces here.
5. Use your personal item wisely
It's standard for airlines to permit each traveler to bring one carry-on bag and one personal item onboard planes. This personal item is subject to specific size requirements (these vary by airline), but something like a purse, laptop bag, or backpack is generally acceptable.
I
6. Wash your clothes on the road
Laundry facilities are one of my favorite parts about staying in vacation rentals. If you know your accommodations will have free laundry facilities, you're golden. You can wash and wear just a handful of outfits for the duration of even very long trips.
If you're staying in a hotel, call in advance to see if laundry services are available and how much they cost. Travelers staying in properties without laundry facilities or taking cruises—cruise lines are notorious for charging an arm and a pant leg for laundry services—can wash clothes in sinks and hang them to dry. I always make sure to pack a travel-size packet of laundry detergent and a sink stopper to clean my clothes on the road—it's my secret for fitting everything in a carry-on bag. Portable laundry-drying lines that attach to showers via suction cups are also a good choice; you can find them at many travel-supply stores.
7. Pack dual-purpose garments
If it's two-in-one, it's one less thing to pack. Dual-purpose items, such as pants that turn into shorts or a jacket that turns into a travel pillow (see these items here) are worth their weight in airline baggage fees.
8. Layer
This advice is twofold: Wear layers and pack in layers. First, your on-the-road wardrobe should feature plenty of layers, which will help you jetset through multiple climates in style and comfort. Second, the items in your bag should be packed in neat layers for easy screening. According to the TSA, "Pack items in layers (shoes one layer, clothes one layer, electronics one layer, etc.)" so that the security agent screening your bag can get a clear picture of what's inside. The faster the TSA agent can screen your stuff, the faster you'll get through the security line.
9. Never check essential items
It's terribly important to keep your valuable and essential belongings in your carry-on bag, not in your checked luggage. Your passport, identification, money, credit cards, jewelry, electronics, and other valuables should always be brought onto the plane with you. We probably don't need to tell you why you need to keep your passport and wallet on your person. But if the airline loses your luggage (or if a TSA agent gets sticky fingers), you'll regret stowing your expensive watch in a checked bag.
10. Use packing aids
My all-time favorite packing aid: Eagle Creek Compression Sacs. Use them to shrivel your clothes into a vacuum-packed, tiny, tight bundle that takes up minimal suitcase space. Other packing aids that can help you organize better and fit more into your bag include packing envelopes and packing cubes.

3 simple travel tips for short vacations
1. Create an itinerary
When you're on a short trip, it's important to carefully schedule your time. If you don't plan out your days, you may end up missing something that you really wanted to see.
A good itinerary will include directions, maps and important information about the places you're visiting.
Spontaneity is fun when you're travelling, but it doesn't work well if you have limited time in a place.
Save the spontaneous activities for longer trips and create an itinerary for your short holidays to maximize your time.
2. Don't try to see everything
When you're creating your itinerary, be careful not to overload your days.
Many people make the mistake of trying to see everything in the place they're visiting, but this is often impossible to do on a short trip. If you schedule too much into a day, you may not enjoy any activity because you'll be too busy rushing from one thing to the next.
Decide what sights are the most important to you and make those the priority when you're creating your itinerary.
Give yourself plenty of time at each location so you can experience them to the fullest.
3. Pack light
When you're on a short trip, excess luggage will only be a burden. This is especially true if you're travelling by plane.
Try to limit yourself to a carry-on suitcase so you won't have to worry about lost luggage.
Plus, you won't have to drag a heavy suitcase through the streets of the city you're visiting.
You can always wear an outfit more than once, and you'll be grateful for how light your luggage is when you're able to easily carry it around.

Preparing for the long haul flight
Getting ready for the long haul flight is for many (me included) the less attractive part of the whole trip planning. It takes time and knowledge because of many variables that have an impact on the flight. When you fly for long hours there are three things you need to consider:
A. what to wear on long haul flight. B. what to can carry on an airplane and what not to take with you. C. the implications of crossing time zones.
It’s crucial that you pack your handbag with all long haul flight essentials that not only comply with the airport rules and airline baggage restrictions but also allow you to survive the long flying and be self-sufficient on the plane as well as on transition time at connecting airports.
A long haul flight means sitting long hours, so it’s hard not to feel exhausted and sleep-deprived, get a stiff neck, a tingling in your feet, swollen ankles and suffer from conditioned air.
That’s why proper clothing and a healthy plane practice matter and can truly make the difference.
While I am always on the lookout for new garments that add more comfort to my long flights, over the years I have created my own plane outfit that works well for me.
Here are some great tips to help you choose what to wear for flying long distance.
How to create the best outfit for the long haul flight
There isn’t one solution fits all, unfortunately. However a universal golden rule is to avoid tight clothing that clings around your chest and legs. Functional clothing is what I recommend wearing on the plane. The most important thing about wearing functional thermal clothing is that it helps regulating your body temperature and keeping you warm all the time. There is nothing worse that feeling cold when sitting on a plane for long hours. With the change of cabin air pressure the temperature changes from warm to cold within a short time.
Best clothes for travelling long haul flights
One important thing to consider is wearing clothes in layers that you can easily remove or add. The best way of creating this type of long haul flight outfit is to wear a micro-fleece long sleeve T-shirt and a warm jumper on top. I love to wear a zipped fleece jumper with side pockets.
Lightweight comfy pants is what I recommend wearing for a long flight. Choose loose soft pants if you wear compression stockings underneath. Many underestimate the fact that flying at high altitudes in a pressured cabin for long hours can make lots of damage to your legs and veins. Clogs in your blood can form and lead to DVT too. So if you care for your veins health, you should always wear compression socks or medical stocking, as a woman and as a man too.
It’s only 10 years ago when I started using compression stockings and since then I never fly without my Mediven Elegance stockings.The protection medical stockings provide to my legs is priceless.
Alternatively you can wear a thermal base layer underneath your clothes, but while this is an excellent way to keep you warm, it will have no protection for your veins though. Stretch leggings is another great piece of garment for an airplane outfit. Choose thermal leggings to keep your legs warm and protected from conditioned air.
Also don’t forget to protect your head and neck by using a soft warm silk scarf. This is another garment that completes my personal plane outfit.
As for the shoes, flat shoes is a must. My walking boots used to be my first choice to save space from the checked luggage, but any comfy sneakers or training shoes is a great option for long flights.
Travel gear that improves comfort on the plane
Wearing the proper clothing is a crucial step towards a comfy long flight, however there are more travel essentials that will improve the comfort on a plane.
First of all an airplane travel pillow will provide head and neck support thus helping you fall asleep and stay asleep longer. Choosing the right travel pillow for the long haul flight isn’t easy because it depends on many factors like individual needs, travel style, space and weight.
Inflatable pillows are the most used on planes but while they work well for some, for others they are simply useless. Foam U-shaped pillows can be a great option, but while these perform better, you need to consider if you can carry it in your bag though.
On this article you can find in depth tips on how to choose the most suitable pillows for the airplane.

The importance of sleep on long flights
Sleeping on the plane is truly important because it helps you naturally combat jet lag, the longer you manage to sleep on the plane the shorter the less you suffer jet lag at your destination. If you manage to sleep, you naturally adjust your internal body clock. A long haul flight means crossing several time zones and the more time zones the longer it takes to recover from jet lag.
I usually don’t get much sleep on the plane. I used to carry an inflatable U-shaped travel pillow that didn’t help and because I want to travel as light as possible and prefer a minimalist packing list I decided to take it off of my packing checklist. However I know that a good travel pillow on the plane can make the difference and improve comfort on the plane.
What to pack in your cabin bag – long haul flight essentials
Next to wearing the proper clothes and having the right gear like a travel pillow, noise cancelling headphones, packing all personal travel essentials is key. As cabin luggage I pack my multi-functional daypack, that I also use for all my outdoor activities as well as laptop bag.
This is my checklist when packing my bag for the plane.
Essential Toiletries for the long haul flight
Food on the plane
Personal Garments
In a foldable bag I place all my plane essentials, this is practical when using the toilets on the plane. Keep it stored into your cabin carry on. In a small zipped bag I put my toiletries such as face wash and cream, teeth brush and toothpaste, eye drops, face and hand wipes, hand-sanitizier, hair brush, lip-balm, lavander essential oil.
Can you take food on a plane? Yes, you can, provided it is dry food and in a package. I never travel without my organic fruit bars, dark chocolate, crackers, herbal tea bags and food supplements like Vitamin C.
These items are in my cabin bag: soft socks, eye-mask, earplugs, painty liners.
The average length of long flights ranges between 8 to 24 hours, with 1 or 2 layovers at international airports. Prefer booking flights with connecting airports that you know well and offer maximum comfort.

How to Get a Good Sleep on a Plane
1. BOOK A WINDOW SEAT
While the window is prized by travelers who want to watch takeoff and landing and spot landmarks like mountain ranges and lakes down below, Raymann says the window seat also has an advantage for those who want to sleep: Lean against the window, and enjoy the relative peace and quiet of not being disturbed by seatmates who have to visit the plane’s restroom.
2. GET COMFORTABLE
Raymann recommends that you wear comfortable clothing (including sleep socks), pack a neck pillow, use the airplane blanket (or pack your own). The more your airplane seat feels like a comfy home away from home, the greater the chance you’ll stay asleep and wake up refreshed.
3. SHUT OUT NOISE
Most of us need quiet to sleep properly. Raymann recommends that you use earplugs to dampen the noises of the plane’s engines, flight crew, and fellow passengers. Or employe noise-cancellation headphones and listen to something relaxing, such as nature sounds or gentle music.
4. EMBRACE DARKNESS
People sleep better in the dark. Pack a sleep mask to help you create your own personal darkness and to discourage you from opening your eyes.
5. EAT & DRINK IN MODERATION
While it’s not a good idea to try to sleep on an empty stomach, it’s also a mistake to eat large portions or fatty or spicy meals. Opt for light, healthy snacks, such as nuts. And while drinking wine, beer, or spirits may help you fall asleep, remember that it will likely make it more difficult for you to actually stay asleep.
6. RECLINE & STRETCH
Use what legroom you have to stretch your legs and recline your seat (remember to do so politely). Raymann recommends straightening your legs, bent slightly at the knees in order to fall asleep more easily, and leaning back tells your brain that you want to rest or sleep.

Travel Experts Provide Top Tips on What to Pack When Taking a World Cruise or Other Extended Journey
Pack for all kinds of weather
If you are going to be navigating through a variety of climates, from hot and humid to cooler, pack light layers that can collectively keep you warm when the temperatures dip.
Avoid bringing a bulky raincoat. Instead, stash a small umbrella in your carry on or disposable ponchos.
Dressy attire
If your journey will require formal or dressy attire, choose shoes that can be repurposed with multiple outfits to save suitcase space and consider bringing a selection of accessories to create a different look and add an extra touch to outfits.
A collapsible sweater bag with shelves is useful to hang in a closet and hold several items that you don’t want to squish in drawers.
Proper paperwork
Before you leave home, make sure you have proper paperwork with you. First and foremost, do not forget your passport.
Also, it is important to check on any visas that may be required for the countries you are visiting. It is the traveler’s responsibility to obtain those in advance.
Bring some copies of your passport and ID, along with charge cards and visas, just in case the originals get lost.
Medications
Make sure you have enough of your regular medications to last for the duration of your journey, along with some extra.
Pack a small supply of your favorite over-the-counter medications such as pain relievers and cold medicines.
Consider a small first aid kit with band-aids, antibiotic cream, allergy treatment, etc.
Buy travel insurance
Many U.S. healthcare plans do not provide medical coverage abroad and travel insurance also covers hotel stays, flights and other expenses when a trip is delayed or disrupted as well as lost luggage reimbursement.
Also, emergency medical evacuations from a foreign country typically cost tens of thousands of dollars. A travel insurance policy that provides air evacuation benefits can potentially be a life-saver.
Electronics
Be sure to remember memory cards for your camera to hold all those vacation photographs.
A power strip to provide extra charging outlets can be extremely useful and don’t forget the power adapter if you’ll be traveling to places that don’t use the same voltage as your home country.
In addition to all the necessary chargers and cables for your devices, consider bringing a small portable power bank for your cell phone that can easily fit in a purse, backpack or pocket.
A night light can be handy to help you find your way around unfamiliar accommodations at night.
Bring your own water bottle
Staying hydrated is very important and bringing a reusable water bottle can save money and ensure you’ve got water available when you need it. It’s important, though, when traveling to other countries, to ensure that the water source you are using is deemed safe. When on a cruise, you can simply fill it up before leaving the ship.
Consider a house sitter
Consider arranging a house sitter to look after your home while you are away or simply having someone pass by and check in on your property from time to time.
Other things to consider
Depending on your cell phone service provider’s international roaming charges, it may be best to bring along an international calling card to keep those calls home more affordable.
A small, framed picture of loved ones can bring a sense of home to your temporary accommodations.
Arrange for a courier service to pick up your bags to deliver them to the ship and at the end of the voyage send them home.
