Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Boarstall could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
