We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Arans in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be the goal when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
