Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Cabot could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
