Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Churchill could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray 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 beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
