We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Canaman before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
