We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Cremyll in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
