We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Saint-Émilion in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
