We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Sirod in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
