We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Altheimer in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
