We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Dunholme in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your highest priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
