If you're not prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your time in Lansdowne.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.
