Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Bilbrough could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
