If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Great Harbour.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
