Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Leontica could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
