We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Green Mountain in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
- Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
