If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Aleu.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
