We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Vena before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
