Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Scott could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, 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 air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
