We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Phachi in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking 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 hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
