We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Būtingė in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
