Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Henderson could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and take a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.
