We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Lebus in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks is also recommended.
