We've pulled together 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 having a blast in Erfoud in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
