We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Penagos in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols 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:
- The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
