We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Heitel in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
