We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Lomax before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.
