We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Awbari in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
