Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Greenville could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
