We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Suki before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
