We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Argyle in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
