We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Proville in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.
