Do you have any tips for my flight to Hillsborough?

  • Wherever your journey is taking you, flying can be a wonderful experience if you’re prepared. First of all, pack your passport, travel documents and medications. Next, throw in some extra in-flight entertainment to help make the time fly by. The latest bestseller and a tablet filled with your favorite series are good options. If you want to get some shut-eye, a neck pillow and noise-canceling headphones are also worth bringing along.
  • There’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which can differ between airlines. As a general rule, avoid packing anything explosive, sharp or flammable. This includes things like utility knives, razor blades, flares and aerosol cans. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as batons and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Whether traveling short or long-haul, layering up is key to staying comfortable. Wear loose fitting, breathable fabrics that will keep you fresh and pack a pullover to cope with any in-flight cabin temperature variations. Your feet will be happiest in a pair of sneakers or flat shoes.
  • Consider wearing compression socks or tights to help prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This blood clotting condition can be caused by prolonged periods of sitting, especially on long-distance journeys. Performing foot and leg stretches in your seat or wandering around the cabin are great ways to improve your circulation.
