Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Bovey could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.
