Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Abingdon could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.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 documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.
