We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Beela in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
