Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Staplehurst could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put 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 Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.
