Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Gramsons could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a pullover in case you get cold. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.
