We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Donnellson in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
