No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy hints that will get your Bonthe escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
