Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Duck Creek Village could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
