We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Coralville in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
