Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Arrest could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
