We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and enjoying Yarnell in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
