No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your St Austell vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
