Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Tallwoods Village could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.
