Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Barr could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs 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 rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
