We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Hoven in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray 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 flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
