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 zooming through the airport and having a ball in Tollose in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case you get cold. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks may also help.
