We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Raby before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop 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 shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
