We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Cardrona in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
