No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Buchan escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
