Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Edland could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
