If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your time in Cardrona. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
