We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Pringy before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
