We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Cuddalore in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
