Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Penchard could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
