Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Downham Market could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints 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 bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
