We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Goose Cove in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, 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:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
