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 having a blast in Tafitoala in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- 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 or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
