We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Strachan in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
