Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Ragged Island holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
