We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Tabuyo del Monte in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray 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 treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
- Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
