We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Huete in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks may also help.
