We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Ilida in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray 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 beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and take a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
