We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Boncore before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.
