We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Derna in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
