We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Norwalk before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple --- first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
