We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Lantz in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks can also help.
