We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Dewsbury in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in 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:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
