Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Helston could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
