We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Globelands in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
