We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Granbo in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
