We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Landsort in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your prime concern when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
