Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lake Linden could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
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 flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
