Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Hill Top could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover just in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.
