Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Toome could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case you get cold. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.
