We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Sonneborn in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.
