We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Castlebay before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
