Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Inverloch holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and take a pullover just in case you get chilly. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights may also help.
