We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Minneola before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
