We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Martivili in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.
