Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Bissett escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
