Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Crocker could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
