Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Manchester could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We’ve pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.
