We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Meeniyan in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
