We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be speeding through airport security and enjoying Aeroskobing in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It’s easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
