We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Keman in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
