Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ocho Rios could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.
