We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Chloride in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
- A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.
