We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Markstay-Warren in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
