Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Guyhirn could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.
