We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Catona in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.
