Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Tyn-y-Gongl could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a sweater in case you get cold. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.
