We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Sarahsville in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
