We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Essay in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
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 or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
