We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Consort in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
