We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Ruting in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.
