We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Langford in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
