We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Allmannsweiler before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
