Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to De Quincey Village could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown 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 rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.
