We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Akbuk in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.
