We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Ceres in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and bring a cardigan in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
