We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Generest before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
