We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Bozanov in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
