We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Porth in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh 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 compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
