Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pudsey could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
