We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Kosundet in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be the goal when picking what to wear on board. 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.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
