Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Grovespring could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
