Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ellis could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case you get cold. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
