Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gloucester could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and take a pullover just in case you get cold. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
