Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kingshill could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
