We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Nedescina in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
