We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Omer in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
