We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Yanaul in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.
