Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Westwood could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
