We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering New Residence in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
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 bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
