Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Whitehall could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
