Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Holmbury St Mary could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
