Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Bristol could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
