Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Pickford could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.
