We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be zooming through the airport and exploring Speculator in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won’t be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.
