We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying South Yarmouth in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
