We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Camarasa in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
