We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Choix in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- 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.
