Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to South Zeal could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and take a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.
