Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Saint Stephens could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
