We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Orlat in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
