Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Twiggs could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
