We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Garbow in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
