Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Saint Catharine could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
