No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Glin escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
