We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Gwadar in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
