Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Stoke Gabriel could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
