We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Levidi in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
