We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring Burg in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple --- first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
- The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.
