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 enjoying Corfe Mullen before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
