Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Dale could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.
