We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Gillan in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
