We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Lamay in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
