We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and discovering Nakodar in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
