We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Lange before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
