We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Sindal in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
