We've pulled together 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 enjoying Lasko before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
