We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Brig in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
