We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Ores in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and bring a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
