If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Dundee. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
