We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Fredonia in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.
