If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday in St. Helier.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.
