No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Potters Village holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
