We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Kerns before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your main priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
