We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you’ll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying New Bight before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
