We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Fiorini in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
