We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Hariana in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up 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:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
