Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Rockaway Beach could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.
