We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Yohualichan before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
