Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Millsfield could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
