We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Dombas in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
