If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your vacation in Unst. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
