Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bodden Town could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
