Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Humble could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
