Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Bembridge could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers 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 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
