We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Turpin before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
