We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Fermoselle before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
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 in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
