We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Grosmont in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
