We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Bourscheid in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
