Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Rutland escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
