If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your holiday in Hope Town. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
