Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Latchford could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
