We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Marcala in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
