Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Piggotts could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
