We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and discovering Terrinches in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cool. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
