No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Gull Lake holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
