We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in St George in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready 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 trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
