We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and enjoying Staufenberg in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
