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 speeding through airport security and having a ball in Apiro in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.
