We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Llo in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
