Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Margaret could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.
