We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and enjoying Little Lake before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.
