hi everyone,
I'm flying to Las Vegas via Newark with Continental airlines in a few weeks.
We depart Dublin airport at 11am, flight to Newark is 7.5 hours, then a 3.5 hour stopover and then back on to a 5.5 hour flight to Las Vegas.
Its been a few years since I've flown long distance.
I know we will get some sort of meals on the flights, but I assume I should bring snacks etc. also? Is there any restrictions on what food you can bring on board the plane? I'm not planning on bringing anything exotic, just normal items like sandwiches, crisps etc. Will that be ok in hand luggage?
Does anyone know if Continental provide any sort of toiletry bag with toothbrush/toothpaste etc.?
Apart from the usual (flight socks, baby wipes for keeping clean, moisturiser, vaseline for lips, warm sweater, ipod, books) is there anything else that I should consider?
Also, what sort of facilities are there in Newark airport - would it be worth paying for access to an airline lounge in the hope of trying to take a shower to freshen up? Or is that even possible?
thanks.
