We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Baker in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
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 one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
