We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Clayton in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
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 or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
