We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Böddiger in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
