We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Orcino in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
