Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Scammon could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
