We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Voropaiv before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
