Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sister Bay could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
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 things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.
