We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Skorping before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
- Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.
