No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Hope Bay holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
