We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Hoechst before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.
