We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Cap Skirring in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
