Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Antimony could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
