We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Stapleton in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
