Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Wickes could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
