We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Kineshma in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don’t forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
