We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Jort in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
