We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Verson before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
