Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ascott-under-Wychwood could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and bring a pullover in case it gets cool. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
