We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Schuettorf in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
