We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Diggs in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.
