We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Thomson Brook in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant 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) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
