Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to St Just could be completely painless 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:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
