Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Devonport could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
