Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Jaww could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
