Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Colva could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
