We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Viu in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
