We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Leselidze in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
