If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a pain-free start to your holiday in Eastland. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
- Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
