We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Gavrus in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
