Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Osses escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
