We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Atyra in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.
