Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Gracemont could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.
