We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Egypt in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
