If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pain-free start to your time in Stanhope. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
