We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Zenda before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
