We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Saschiz before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
