We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Reydon in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
