We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Storden in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
- A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.
