Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Drake Bay escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put 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 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.
