We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Weyer in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.
