We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Neos Zigos in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
