We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Gillette in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
