We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Crixas in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, 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 be as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
