If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your holiday in Cockburn Town. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
