We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Sales in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
