We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and discovering Ciez in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
