We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Blankenrath in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
