Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lakeville could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.
