We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Inverarnan before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo 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 authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
- Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
