Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Melvin Village could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
