We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Huntington Park in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
