Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Stocksfield could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
