We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Troon in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and bring a pullover just in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
