We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Oma before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. 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:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.
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 choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
