We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Arma before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
