Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Freshwater could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
