We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Abandames before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
