Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Darenth could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.
