We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Strum in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
