We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Snasa before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put 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 your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
- A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.
