Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Chaldon could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, 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 restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks can also help.
