We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Cameron before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
