Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Croyde could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
