We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Kolham in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
