We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Ingai in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
