We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Chandelao in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
