We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Norwich in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting 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 improve your circulation.
