We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Ray in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
