Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Forest could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
