Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Saffle could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
