We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring El Hawaii in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
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 the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.
