If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your time in Broomhill. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling 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 luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
