We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Brsecine before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
