We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Denham in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z’s, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can’t come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
- Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.
