We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Gangānagar in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
