Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hayward could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
