We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Roscoe in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
