We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Mocha in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting 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.
