We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Dunbar in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
