Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Lansdowne could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We’ve rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you’ve got all the right things. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.
