We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Enroig in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
