Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Landres holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
