We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Numborn in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
