If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your time in Iglas. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
