Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Tackley could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
