We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Dogdyke in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
