Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Spier could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack 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) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
