Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Arrow Rock could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.
