We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Page before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
