Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Peplos could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
