Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Sidmouth could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
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 avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
