We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Roann before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
