Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Hatton could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes 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 checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
