We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Pandie Pandie in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.
