We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Saint Michael before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
