Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Goetzville could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
