Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Megara could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be the goal when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
