If you're not prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your getaway in Plymouth. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
