We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Kerlouan in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover just in case you get chilly. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
