We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Mirties in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
