We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Beaver in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
