Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Reed could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
